After an exciting summer break, we are a back with a bang as UEFA Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain take on UEFA Europa League victors Tottenham Hotspur in the annual UEFA Super Cup. The Parisians may come in as favourites, but we fancy an upset could be on the cards on Wednesday.
Key Betting Tip: Tottenham to Win at 5.20 odds on Kwiff represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.
PSG Predicted XI: Lucas Chevalier; Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi; Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery; Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué.
Tottenham Predicted XI: Guglielmo Vicario; Djed Spence, Micky Van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Pedro Porro; Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur; Wilson Odobert, Pape Sarr, Mohammed Kudus; Richarlison.
Luis Enrique will bring in one summer transfer straight into the starting XI, as Gianluigi Donnarumma’s tricky situation leads to him making way for Chevalier, who comes from Lille. The only player missing through injury is Senny Mayulu, who is currently suffering from a thigh injury.
Thomas Frank’s first Tottenham XI includes starts for both Odobert and Sarr, as well as debuts for both Kudus and Palhinha, who come from West Ham and Bayern Munich (loan) respectively. There are a number of players out through injury, including: Destiny Udogie (muscle), Dom Solanke (ankle), Radu Dragusin (acl), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), James Maddison (acl), Bryan Gil (knee), and Manor Solomon (calf).
Last season Champions League winners had an excellent year, and also a good Club World Cup run as they made the final before losing to Chelsea.
As for Spurs, the Europa League winners have enjoyed a rather mixed pre-season, which included three draws, two wins and just one defeat.
These sides have met just once, in a pre-season fixture in the Champions Cup in North America where the Lilywhites won a six-goal thriller. PSG opened the scoring before each side took turns to add a goal before half-time which ended 2-2 through goals from Edinson Cavani, Christian Eriksen, Javier Pastore, and Eric Dier. Toby Alderweireld added a third for Spurs with 10 minutes to go, and Harry Kane struck from 12 yards out to secure the win.

Tottenham Last 5 Matches:
Spurs look like they could be a tough team to beat in the Premier League this season. The North London outfit have endured a big rebuild over the summer, and it looks like they have a lot of promise through these pre-season results.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Tottenham to Win @ 5.20 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted a huge opening game win for Thomas Frank in this fixture. Recent head-to-head and form suggest confidence in an Spurs victory.
Désiré Doué (PSG): The 20-year-old has already proved he is the man for the big games. He may have had a quiet final against Chelsea, but we have to remember how many games were played last season. In the Champions League final versus Inter, Doué had a player of the match performance, assisting once and scoring twice. He could have made it three had he stayed on for the duration of the match.
Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham): There is a lot of anticipation surrounding the Ghanaian’s transfer from East to North London. He is a very exciting player, but lining up against Nuno Mendes will prove an extremely tricky task, and we will get to see what he’s made of.
Referee: Joao Pinheiro (POR). The Portuguese official has taken charge of 193 matches in his professional career, with a majority coming in the Liga Portugal. On average, the referee hands out 4.37 yellow cards per game.
